Bodhi Su - Simple Vegetable Vegetarian Restaurant (Xingyuehui Store) - Business Reviews

Chongqing people are not very enthusiastic about vegetarian food, the number of vegetarian restaurants is small, and vegetarian restaurants that have been operating for many years are even rarer. Founded in 2008, Bodhi Su is the most well-known local vegetarian restaurant in Chongqing, with three branches. Bodhi vegetarian dishes are not complicated, but they are distinctive, insisting on using less processed condiments to add flavor and flavor, even if it is a strong dish, it is also to use plant spices as much as possible to enhance the taste. In addition, Bodhi Su has an elegant and well-designed environment, stable products and exquisite plates, which can be described as a high-quality vegetarian restaurant.

Bodhi Su has three branches, Pusu Yaji, Jingli Pavilion and Pusu, all of which have similar dishes but have their own business methods. The Jingli Pavilion store is the earliest branch of Bodhi Su, which retains many imitation meat dishes; Pusu is a brand established in 2012, which does not set up any imitation meat dishes, and emphasizes the original taste of vegetarian food; Pu Su Yaji is the latest branch to open, and has added afternoon tea, which is more suitable for tea breaks.

Bodhi vegetarian's dishes include light-hearted dishes that reflect the true taste of vegetarian food, as well as Chongqing-style dishes, which are spicy and fragrant, and have a rich flavor. The restaurant offers a variety of nearly 90 dishes, including appetizers, hot dishes, soups, main dishes and desserts, as well as wine, plum wine and osmanthus wine. It is worth mentioning that Bodhi Su cooperates with farms in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Yunnan and other places, which supply some of the ingredients, and regularly inspect the environment and breeding process to ensure production.

Due to the simple taste of vegetarian food, the light dishes can highlight the quality of the ingredients and the chef's skills, and the cold salad, salad and some light hot dishes of Bodhi vegetarian are a good reflection of the original vegetarian taste. The vegetarian hand roll is a classic of Bodhi Su, and it is also the dish with the highest serving rate, and some Chongqing vegetarian restaurants are also vying to follow suit. Vegetarian hand rolls are made from seaweed and lettuce wrapped in fruits and vegetables such as amber walnuts, tomatoes, and cucumbers, and topped with salad dressing. If the plain hand-rolled is like a small jasper, then the fried chicken head rice with asparagus is like a lady's show, and it is more expensive. Bodhi attaches great importance to the growing environment of chicken head rice, selects clean lakes in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to plant, does not use pesticides, and picks and freezes the chicken head rice after it matures from July to September. Due to the lack of pesticides and transportation losses, only one-third of the chicken head rice produced can be used as food. The chicken head rice used in Bodhi is large and plump, and it is slightly better than ordinary restaurants in terms of taste and color. The crispy asparagus tip and the soft glutinous chicken head rice have a refreshing taste, and with simple seasoning, the ingredients are fresh and sweet.

Considering that light-tasting dishes cannot fully satisfy the spicy and heavy-mouthed Chongqing people, Bodhi Su also provides a variety of heavy-flavored dishes. The autumn eggplant of that year was the restaurant's signature dish, and the whole eggplant was cut with a knife, coated in flour and fried, and rolled into a round shape. The eggplant drizzled with sweet and sour sauce is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a layered taste, crispy but not greasy. Another popular dish, Lion's Mane mushroom, is seasoned with Chongqing's usual accessories such as Sichuan pepper, green pepper and rattan pepper, which is spicy but does not lose the original taste of the food, and has a meat-like taste, which is highly accepted by diners. In addition, dishes such as pickled pepper tripe ears, spicy morel mushrooms, and sour and spicy chiba tofu are all sour, spicy, and numb, and are worth trying for diners who like spicy flavors.

Although the desserts of Bodhi Su are quite distinctive, although they are called cakes and ice cream, there are no egg and milk products added, and the sugar content is not much, and the fruit flavor is the main one, and the sweetness is low. Among them, pumpkin cake is the main dessert of the restaurant, pumpkin puree is placed on top of coarse grain biscuits, and then garnished with blueberries and strawberries, which resembles a cake, sweet and soft and crispy, which is more popular with diners. The small orange lantern is the preference of female customers, the pulp is pureed and placed in the orange peel, the appearance is cute, the taste is sweet and sour, and it is suitable as a dessert after a meal.

The decoration design of the three branches of Bodhi Su has its own characteristics, and the Jingliguan store is mainly based on Buddhist elements, with built-in Buddha statues, scriptures and Buddhist paintings, and the overall color is dark, exquisite and elegant. The décor of the simple store is fresher, the entrance is a long circular passage surrounded by bamboo branches, which has a sense of design, the store is bright and transparent, with green as the main tone, tables and chairs are all logs, and green plants and bamboo rows are embellished. The design of the Pusu Yaji is simple, with white walls, bamboo chairs and green bamboo, which is simple and simple, and the window seats can also enjoy the river view. The waiters in the store are all dressed in linen dresses and black cloth shoes, smiling, enthusiastic and commendable. However, during the peak dining period, there was a slight shortage of manpower, neither taking the initiative to recommend dishes, nor serving dishes in detail, and not responding to customer needs in a timely manner.
